Holder: Mueller Is Just Trying to Make His Case Against Trump Juicier
Townhall.com ^ | March 4, 2018 | Cortney O'Brien

Eric Holder, former attorney general for President Obama, predicts that special counsel Robert Mueller already has an obstruction of justice case against President Trump and that he is stalling so he can make it as juicy as he can and bring it before a grand jury.

"Well I think that you technically have an obstruction of justice case that already exists," Holder said on "Real Time with Bill Maher" Friday. "I've known Bob Mueller for 20, 30 years. My guess is, he's just trying to make the case as good as he possibly can."

The Mueller investigation has produced several indictments so far. The first came down against former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and his business associate Rick Gates, who were charged with money laundering and conspiracy against the United States. The next indictments came against former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos and national security advisor Michael Flynn. Last month, Mueller also charged 13 Russian nationals for interfering in our elections, with a 37-page report detailing how the defendants posed as grassroots political activists advocating for and against Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Three Russian companies, one California man, and one London-based lawyer have also been charged in the Mueller probe. 

None of the indictments, however, have charged Trump and his associates of colluding with Russia.

Still, Holder charged that the president has not properly addressed the Russian conspiracy. He has "done nothing to prepare us for what is to come" and he's been "derelict in his duties," the former attorney general maintained.

The scandal may very well derail his re-election efforts, both he and Maher suggested, especially if Democrats start throwing around the word "treason."

The Mueller investigation has been complicated by a controversial memo released by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee detailing FISA abuses at the FBI. Trump said that the document, which claims that the agency spied on members of his campaign, "vindicates" his team from wrongdoing.

Some say IG Horowitz is there to figure out ways to let Deep Staters skate away from culpability.

Lefties don’t get embarrassed about being wrong nor do they ever admit to being wrong. They do “predict” things hoping to make those things come about. That’s wishful thinking used as political nudging.

There is no legitimate obstruction of justice case against President Trump!
I’m so sick of hearing this non-stop Bullsh*t from the real criminals.. the Left! The Swamp isn’t going to drain itself! What is worse? Allowing the scum to continue destroying everything American stands for? Or confronting them with every constitutional power we still have left?! There will come a point of no return.. With all that has been exposed could that point of no return already be here?.. Does the President have nothing left to lose? Should he clean house and let the political chips fall where they may? Timing is everything.. President Trump has amazing timing.. He has to Prevail.. Please Pray.

Holder’s NOT in Prison because he’s a BLACK LIBERAL DEMOCRAT and there would have been RIOTING and BURNING DOWN CITIES....we all know how that works.

What a hack, Mueller’s only evidence for obstruction is Comeys he said she said memo of his one on one meeting with Trump. Even if true most experts with no axe to grind don’t believe it was obstruction. How far will that take Mueller when his key witness Comey could and should be indicted?

If they had the dirt on Trump IMO they would have came after him already. Mueller and the Rats can cry Witch Hunt and witness intimidation of Comey, but only if Trump is indicted before Comey.

“...I dare you...”

Best guess is that mueller will dump whatever he can just in time for the ‘18 elections.

Be ready.

Can a sitting President be indicted while in office? Where is judge Napolitano when you need him!

‘Some say IG Horowitz is there to figure out ways to let Deep Staters skate away from culpability.’

That is Horowitz MO/track record. If Eric Holder is 100% innocent in the Fast and Furious gun-walking murder racket, then no one is guilty of anything; it’s all a farce.

Don’t expect Horowitz to be harder on Comey. Comey is an Obama stooge/Clinton-fixer. We all know how that works.

You can NOT indict a sitting president for anything.

The mechanism for removing a sitting president is impeachment by the House followed by conviction by the Senate.

Eric Holder stayed out of the news cycle pretty much the first year of the Trump Administration.
But Democrat's are desperate for news, as they have none so they pulled Old AG Holder into action, and now you see and hear him often...He needs to be concerned as his record will be the next under the microscope ..and it will just be as juicy as Hillary's Lies and Fairy Tales...

The same for B.Hussein Obama...One day we may know the truth of just WHO IS B. HUSSEIN OBAMA...He resembles no one in the Obama clan, so really, WHO IS HE? WE KNOW HE LIES, AND IS A FRAUD... we need to know more...

He can’t be indicted according to constitutional scholars. He’s immune. Removal from office in this case is strictly political, requiring the requisite votes for impeachment by the House (simple majority) and conviction by the Senate, (67 votes).

None of this is anything.

This is how the left keeps their moonbats in formation.
If there is no scandal for them to foment about, their base will wander away.

They must have something to “cling” to be it Russia, Russia, Russia or Global Warming or Polar Bears trapped on ice.

These people have been raised up on chaos, its all they know.
